UofP vs. NAU (Nov. 14th, 8 p.m. Kickoff)

Would seem logical to me.

who do you see as the first off the bench?

Halley?

Also, would you have Megan on the side of Megan or Jessica?

Da Tru/Stoney

'arry is not at Portsmouth any more. He is now where Martin was!

And I have to pay homage; hence the name change!

May I suggest an avatar of

or perhaps

This is going to be a long week, I cannot stay off of Pilot Nation... I foresee a monthly record being shattered.

Megan has to be on the left in front of Megan, in my opinion.

Without wanting to be negative, Megan R has the defensive energy to help Megan S, which is important IMO.

And Jessica is strong going forward, and gets more chance to do that with Sara as a partner than Megan.

Harry,

Agreed on both points.

Love the photos. I have to figure out how to do the avatar thing. I'm sure my kids can show me!

Harry,

Pretty simple really, right click on the one you like, and copy image location.

Then click profile at the top,

then the tab that says avatar

then paste the URL into the field that says upload avatar from URL

then click save

Yeah... we are at 888 already and it's only been 10 days... that puts us on a pace of... mental math skills failing... 2600+. Which I think, yes, would break the record.

And don't forget, basketball is starting too!!! (Or am I the only one that cares about that... sigh.....)

HK/MJ... as for the avatar, click the profile link up along the top (under the Pilot Nation banner) and you can upload one from there.

Oooh! Aleppiek is all over it... he's got the fast fingers!

Then you should have Harry Redknapp in all his glory on each post

My work performance will get better once the playoffs are over.

Me: My name is Aleppiek and I am a junkie

Group: "Hi Aleppiek"

Me: I have not posted to Pilot Nation in... oh crap

aleppiek, you KNOW i wanna be there but I will have to survive with Adam or Jason's live broadcast (thanks for the reminder Stoney)

AP,

I will try to post to PN during the game from my phone, but with a little one that can be harder than it sounds.

Harry, we have success! Nice Avatar

Just be glad it won't be Stonehouse bringing you the goods... I butchered the Santa Clara game. But I was rusty, and I was in the open press box where everyone could hear me. That's stress, man. Stress.

OK, as part of my program I am going to do my best to not post back to back ever again, that forces me to wait for someone else to respond.

They should make a patch for this.

Also I think it is probably a good idea to have Megan and Jessica on the same side. I saw a certain chemistry there in San Diego during the second half.

Good question about the bench. We might not see any subs in close matches, assuming all stay healthy. Halley is about the only one on the bench who has seen meaningful action recently. With Rachael and Kendra out and the 3As gone, all that's left is Kristen K., Emma N., and Janelle J. It would be an awful lot of pressure on inexperienced players to throw them into a tight match.

Of course, nothing compares to Kim Head entering the 2002 Championship Match in goal when Lauren Arase was injured just minutes before a possible shoot-out!

There you go with the devils advocate business... I'll let Garrett decide which is best how about that?

Thanks for the techno coaching. 'arry is now in place. Just hope I have not broken the spell for my other team with the use of his image. Which could be the start of another thread on the place of superstition in sports. But this thread is supposed to be about the Friday game so enough side tracks.

My pleasure and nice selection...

Back on topic, I am really comfortable with the group that will be starting, all tinkering aside it is a strong group.

Well you know that isn't true....

And I totally blanked on Harry to Spurs... Hopefully he can get all those big name transfers to produce (Although losing their strikeforce of last year is rough)

Anyway back to Pilots soccer... I'm wondering if losing the Big 3 will affect the substitution patterns of Garrett, does he let players go the full 90, or sub a bit more frequently to keep players fresh and adjust to matchups??

Yeah, bench depth concerns me as well.

And if reports of Kristen Kelly injuring her arm are true, then that's one less player available.

We're just going to have to pray for no injuries!
